Business Bankruptcy Solicitors

Business bankruptcy in the UK refers to the formal process faced by unincorporated businesses—such as sole traders and partnerships—when they are unable to meet their financial obligations. Although “bankruptcy” is more commonly associated with individuals, in a business context it highlights situations where owners may be personally liable for debts. This process provides a structured route to liquidate assets, settle creditor claims, and potentially offer a fresh financial start.

What does business bankruptcy involve in the UK?

  • Financial distress: Recognising when a sole trader or partnership can no longer pay its debts as they fall due.
  • Liquidation process: In some cases, winding up the business by selling assets to satisfy creditors.
  • Creditors’ claims: Managing demands from lenders and negotiating settlements or repayments.
  • Personal liability: In unincorporated businesses, owners may be personally liable for debts, making bankruptcy a critical personal matter.
  • Alternative arrangements: Exploring restructuring or informal agreements to avoid formal bankruptcy proceedings.

How can a solicitor help with business bankruptcy, and what does it cost?

A specialist business bankruptcy solicitor can:

  • Assess your financial position: Evaluating assets, liabilities, and cash flow to decide if bankruptcy is the best course.
  • Advise on alternatives: Exploring restructuring options or negotiating with creditors to minimise personal liability.
  • Prepare and file documentation: Managing all legal paperwork for bankruptcy or related insolvency proceedings.
  • Represent you in negotiations: Liaising with creditors and, if necessary, representing you in court.

Costs depend on your case’s complexity and the solicitor’s experience. Hourly rates typically range from £150 to £400, with fixed-fee options available for straightforward cases. An initial consultation—often free or discounted—will help you explore your options and estimate fees.
